Determining the status of a WWN card
Complete the following steps to determine the status of a WWN card.
The WWN bezel (logo plate) covers the WWN cards.
1. Enter the chassisShow command to display information about the WWN card. (WWN units
correspond to information specific to the WWN card.) Error messages that may indicate
problems with a WWN card are summarized in the following table.
2. Check the LED indicators on the WWN bezel and verify that they reflect the actual status of the
components. The WWN bezel covers the WWN cards and allows its LEDs to shine through. The
LEDs on the WWN bezel provide a consolidated view of the port, CP, and CR blade status.
